The Art of the Possible

I referenced a quote the other day in my "American Lives Matter?" post.

War on Guns Correspondent JFC notes:
Origin and comment on "politics is the art of the possible." Politics is the art of the possible. Otto von Bismarck, said in 1867. Politics is not the art of the possible. It consists in choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable. John Kenneth Galbraith Letter to John F. Kennedy (1962-03-02), printed in Galbraith's Ambassador's Journal (1969).
Good rejoinder.
